It’s that time of the year again to pull out all the stops for Mummy Dearest!

As cliché as it sounds, every day should be Mother’s Day – that one special day where we honour our mothers – for the women who play a pivotal role in your life, from the mother of your children to, yes, your own mother! However, it’s always nice to dedicate a day of pampering to show appreciation. Here are seven gift ideas to put a smile on their face.

King of Fruits

Obviously, this isn’t the gift for Mum if durian isn’t her thing! But the Classic Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake from The Durian Bakery is a dream come true for durian lovers. This preservative-free confection is filled with their luscious Signature SilkyGold™ Durian Purée and topped with whipped cream and white chocolate. It also comes with complimentary durian mochi to cap off a delicious durian discovery. Who knows – she might even share…

Waxing Lyrical

You could just buy a candle from a store, but there’s something special about making one that’s truly your own. The Slow Scent Company’s Crystal Botanical Candle Making Workshop offers a beautiful bonding experience to enjoy with Mum. Together, you’ll follow simple, step-by-step guides to learn the basics of candle-making and scent blending, creating a personalised candle that smells just the way Mum likes it. And to top it all off? You’ll adorn your finished creation with crystals for a stunning final touch.

A Fine Hair-loom

Much has been said about Dyson’s haircare technology, and there’s no better time than now to present what Mum has been secretly hankering after. The Dyson Airstrait hair straightener is a godsend for beauty-conscious folks who spend too much time getting their hair done, with a promised 25% reduction in time spent drying and straightening wet hair without heat damage – users are raving about its ability to tame frizz and flyaways. We love that it comes in a pretty shade of pink with rose gold details, and we’re sure Mum would love it too! 

One Fine Day

Many surveys have shown that what mothers really want on Mother’s Day is some self-care and alone time. Treat Mum to a smashing combo of relaxation and personal time with Capella Singapore’s Wellness Discovery Day Pass at Auriga Spa, which promises a full day of pleasurable pursuits. The Day Pass includes a 90-minute Intuitive Wellness Massage, breakfast or Sunday brunch at Fiamma (an Italian restaurant in Capella Singapore), and access to the hotel’s swimming pools, Purification Water Experiences at Auriga Spa, and the fitness centre.

Forever Flower

Flowers are a timeless Mother’s Day gift, but their beauty is fleeting. That’s where The Floral Atelier’s Radiant Crystal Cubes come in. These stunning arrangements feature flowers – in this case, garden roses, hydrangeas, and Bunny Tails – that have been specially treated to last an entire year without any maintenance. Cut at their prime and preserved to perfection, these Eternity Blooms retain the look and feel of fresh flowers. No watering needed, just lasting beauty Mum can enjoy for months.

Huat Luxe

If Mummy dearest is a Mahjong queen, there’s no way she wouldn’t be delighted with this auspicious 999 Pure Gold Mahjong Thirteen Wonders set from SK Jewellery! While it’s a pity it’s not a full set (which would truly level up a mahjong session), it’s still an excellent conversation starter and a lovely addition to the display cabinet. Handy for times when she’s waiting for that elusive last tile to win – maybe a glance at this decadent gift would nudge the God of Fortune to wink at her.

Wrist Candy

The bracelets by homegrown label Strait Lights pay homage to different districts and landmarks in Singapore, inspired by their colour schemes. The Raffles Bracelet, for example, takes its cues from the colonial-era hotel’s architecture and features tempered glass and 24k gold-plated beads. The packaging is also swoon-worthy – a custom white drawer box with a card depicting the scene that inspired it.

We Love You, Mum!

This Mother’s Day, celebrate the incredible women in your life with these thoughtful gifts. From indulgent treats to memorable experiences, each idea is crafted to show your love and appreciation, ensuring Mum feels truly cherished on her special day.
